category for county fair horse
racing, which will be allowed to
run 5 days per year.
The law does not change the 6
percent tax on greyhound
racing.
“There is no reason for Texas
to take a backseat to anyone,
and racing is no exception,”
David Freeman, executive sec-
retary of the Texas Racing Com-
mission, said Tuesday.
Only a few smaller horse
tracks are currently operating.
No Class 1 tracks, allowed in
the Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth
and San Antonio areas, have
been licensed.
But Sue Cox, executive direc-
tor of the anti gambling group
Texans Who Care, said, “It
makes us look like we’ve been
fooled again.”

Millan was threatening to leave
his wife and take the children
“They were screaming at
each other for about two weeks
now,’’ said neighbor Kevin
Vick. "But he loved those kids.”
Vick said shortly before the
shooting, he overheard Millan
say, ‘"Look, if we re going to
break up, I’m going to take the
children.’
"She didn't want it that way. I
could hear he yelling, ’You’re
not taking my kids!'”
The mother, who was inside
her house during the seige, was
not immediately told her sons
were dead, police said.

“Instead, they seek to inter
pose roadblocks to a system
designed to mandate equity in
funding so as to enable the for-
merly wealthy districts to main-
tain their status of privilege,”
the attorney general’s office
said in documents released
Tuesday.
In one area — Rinding for
buildings — a group of poor
school districts has joined in
calling the new law inadequate.
The state said although the
new law limits school district
tax rates, there is enough fund-
ing authority “to allow any
school district in the state to
build and finance any needed
and many unneeded facilities.”
The state also disputed an
argument by wealthy school
districts that enough state
money isn’t put into the public
education system. The docu-
ments filed by Ms. Hunter said
the level of funding is up to law-
makers to decide, and noted
that the Legislature has not yet
passed the budget measure to
fund the school law.
The new law is estimated to
cost the state an extra $1.3 bil-
lion over the next two years, but
lawmakers do not meet to write
a state budget until July 8.

year system, which now
includes large funding dispari-
ties because of school districts’
use of their own property tax
revenue.
Wealthy school districts say
the new law creates an uncon
stitutional state property tax,
and unconstitutionally trans
fers local tax money from one
school district to another.
The state says a state proper-
ty tax is not created. It says the
countywide education districts
directly impose the minimum
tax for education, so there is
under the law no transfer of tax
revenue from one school dis-
trict to another.
The school finance law pro-
vides foreach county education
taxing region to be governed by
an appointed panel consisting
of school board members.
Wealthy school districts have
argued that the system dilutes
the voting strength of minori-
ties who make up a large per-
centage of their individual
school districts.
The state said the law has had
no discriminatory effect. It said
the county education boards
have only ministerial duties,
and that wealthy districts “do
not seriously seek to vindicate

and Seismology
"We have signs that the volca

This could only be the
beginning."
Punongbayan warned people
within a 12 mile radius of Pina
tubo to flee.
“The smoke is very thick like
a dark mushroom in the sky,"
Gus Abelgas, a reporter for
ABS-C^N television, said in a
broadcast from Botolan, near
the volcano's western slopes.
“It’s just like what we saw in
Hiroshima.”
Other reporters described
panic as people scampered for
safety with their belongings
and livestock over roads slin
pery with ash fall.
President Corazon Aquino
visited refugee centers near
Angeles briefly today before
returning to Manila for inde-
pendence day celebrations.
Moments after the first explo-
sion, sirens wailed at Clark Air
Base, and 600 of the 1,500
Americans remaining there
fled eastward to safety. Air
Force spokesman Lt. Col. Ron
Rand said 900 Americans, most-
ly security personnel,
remained at the 130,000 acre
base.
Punongbayan said Tuesday
that Clark, one of the biggest
U.S. bases overseas, was in the
path of the volcanic flow from
Mount Pinatubo during its last
major eruption, in 1380.
The Pentagon, which is trying
to negotiate a new contract with
Manila for the base, said it can
workaround the temporary loss
of Clark.
The Americans who Red
Clark with a few belongings on
Monday moved in with sailors
and their families at Subic Bay
naval base, 50 miles to the
southwest.
Although the Air Force left
Clark, Philippine authdrities
have not ordered a general eva-
cuation <?f Angeles, a city of
more thhli 300,000 people adja-

About 19,000 Filipinos had
earlier been evacuated from
three provinces near the volca
no’s slopes and were housed in
about 25 makeshift evacuation
centers outside the projected
danger zone.

AUSTIN (AP) — Supporters
of a new law reducing the
state’s share of horse race
wagering say it will bring major
league tracks to Texas, but
opponents described the tax
break as a breach of trust
between state officials and
voters.
Gov. Ann Richards signed
into law the 80 percent cut in
the state tax.
The new law scraps the 5 per-
cent tax on each dollar gambled
and replaces it with a sliding-
scale tax that would start at 1
percent for the first $100 mil
lion wagered at a track.
The law also allows wagering
at Texas horse and dog tracks
on televised broadcasts of
races held in other parts of the
country, and sets up a new
